I just finished repainting my interior plastic, I think it turned out quite nice for a first time try. For anyone as dumb as me, I would highly recommend marking or labeling or even putting the screws back in their holes so you won't have to try to remember where they go two weeks later.

I cleaned all the pieces, sanded all the rough and brittle places, then cleaned again. I used a couple of coats of SEM Vinyl Prep prior to painting. I painted with off the shelf SEM Color Coat, mostly for the price difference, they could have color matched a couple of cans for about $95, I spent about $15 per can. The color isn't an exact match but close enough for me.

guys i used satin finish Fusion from krylon with excellent results but mine went from red to black one thing i made sure to buy enough to do the whole job in the same batch, but still had really good results the satin isn't "too" shiny and lots better than flat 5 bucks a can beats 15, follow instructions on can,I usually wash real good with soap and water and rub down with brake cleaner to remove oil from fingers then shoot.Timmy

i currently drive a geo metro,insert silly joke here,, but i'll pass you while your getting gasIf you don't have time/money to do it right the first time,how will you have time/money to do it again. Timmy

Hey guys, I found another trick. I used Mighty sealer in one even coat, then applied Krylon Fusion and quess what? All the pieces now pass the scratch test. I'll put up some pics when I get them all installed.

I also did the same, repainted all my interior stuff, vinyl pieces and the plastic. Used vinyl paint from Canadian Tire and a Tremclad (or Canadian equivalent, I think it was) for the interior. I went black so no matching was necessary. The biggest thing to be aware of is to prep. Some plastic pieces I didn't do as well on at the beginning and the paint peeled right off immediately. Some of the more damaged, sun dried plastic would possibly not pass a significant scratch test though, but I don't touch it so it has held up well after 15 years now. After this long though, the vinyl is starting to lose its gloss and could stand to have a repaint, but it still looks pretty good, just not as shiny. It has been 15 years so no complaints.
